We study special modification of such flow (constructed in \\cite{Riabov}) that gives rise to a random dynamical system and thus allows to discuss stationary points. Existence of a unique stationary point is proved in the case of a strictly monotone Lipschitz drift by developing a variant of a pullback procedure. Connections between the existence of a stationary point and properties of a dual flow are discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-08-17T18:52:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60G51", "60H15", "37H15" ], "keywords": [ "coalescing stochastic flows", "unique stationary point", "meeting time", "strictly monotone lipschitz drift", "stochastic differential equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
